LONDON : SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 27, 18311. The following very interesting intelligence is taken from a second edition of the Morning Post : H'er Majesty's steam-packet Blazer arrived at Malta on the 14th of October, at night, bringing news from Bombay to the 12th of September. Reports had reached India of the defeat of the Persian forces before Herat, in which it appeared some Russians had assisted, the death of a Russian General Officer being mentioned. Although no official accounts had reached Calcutta, it seems that the plans and intrigues of Russia were placed beyond doubt, and must have been very extensive, since we learn that the papers which have fallen into the hands of the Government establish that she was dab bling with all the Powers and Princes to the northward, and it was believed that Russian emissaries had been sent to the Burmese by another route. The Rajah of Sattarah was quite under the influence of Russia. The most active warlike preparations were visible in all the presidencies. Troops from Bengal to the amount of 25,000 men, and 5,000 from Bombay were to march towards Cabool, and the Nepaulese were to be watched by a force from Madras. The Indian Government, in fact, had shown a determination to exhibit activity and energy, in order to overawe, if possible, the northern provinces ; but the greatest uneasiness was mani fest, and the natives did not hesitate to declare their satisfac tion at the prospect of the arrival of the Russians, and the pro. bability of their having new masters. The British authorities in India, appear rightly to understand the designs of Russia, and their mode of counteracting them is worthy of their patriotism. Promptitude, energy, and the proper application of her immense military resources, is all that is wanted to enable Great Britain, to right the balance of power in the East. We have long regarded a war with Russia as inevitable ; and every hour that it is delayed, only strengthens the hands, and gives stability to the projects of the CZAR, who for the last five years has not ceased, day nor night, to prepare for such an event. All things con sidered, we do not think that a better field than Persia, or a more auspicious moment than the present, could be selected for the solution of a problem which may be said to involve the civilization of the world. We will not now enter into those points of the question which appear alone to occupy the attention of our Lon don Contemporaries. It is too late to indulge in recri minations, with a view to show whether Whig or Tory Cabinets have been most negligent of the interests of England in past transactions with Russia. Both parties-have been so shamefully guilty as to justify the country in expecting and exacting from them proofs of a sincere penitence. The part which we have taken, during the last ten years, in all questions relating to the policy of Russia, is well known. We have uniformly execrated the sacrifice of Poland, which we have as uni formly and as distinctly attributed to the pusillanimity of England and the treachery of France ; while at the same time we have never ceased to denounce the pedling policy of the Duke of WELLINGTON in 1829, in permitting the CZAR to dictate to the SULTAN the shameful treaty of Adrianople. Having thus hitherto carefully avoided all identification of ourselves with the Foreign policy of either party, we do not consider that it now belongs to us to trouble ourselves with whitewash ing either the one or the other. We do not believe that we are over sanguine in entertaining the conviction that a blow well struck by England now would repair every error in our foreign policy since the signing of Treaty of Vienna. We have a fleet at the mouth of the Dardanelles, and are therefore in a condition to treat with Russia on the shores of the Black Sea. Already all but triumphant in the East, we may by a word give freedom to Poland ; and thus drive back the barbarian hordes of the CZAR within the limits of the Empire which Europe assigned them at the death of the Czar PETER I. This would be an easy task, were France honestly to unite with us in executing it ; but expe rience prevents us from longer reposing any great con fidence in the liberal professions of the CITIZEN KING. however, if France do not unite with us, we feel pretty confident that she must remain neutral, as in giving freedom to Poland we shall have the national sympathies all enlisted in our favour. An union with Russia on the part of Lours PHILLIPPE, would be followed by another revolution, and there would be an end of the ORLEANS dynasty. This fact is well known to the CITIZEN KING, and will serve as a guarantee for the neutrality of France, should she not consider it her duty to make common cause with us against a common enemy. We cannot better conclude these remarks than by subjoining the intelligence from Constantinople re ceived this morning, bearing, as it does, upon the real stew of this question. It comes down to the 7th instant : " An active correspondence had been carried on between Lord Ponsonby and Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, who re mained cruising off the mouth of the aranelles, with the united squadrons, British and Turkish, from29th of Sep.. tember to about the 4th of October, It was the understood that the subject of this correspondence was the newtreatyofcom merce on which Reschid Pacha had been sent on mission b to London, or rather upon the consequence of this treaty, should i, be ratified by the British Ministry. The grain trac y le Russian ports in the Black Sea, it seems, will be materially in jured thereby, and the Russian Minister , having made strong re nionstrances against it, accompanied by some hints almost amounting to threats, for the purpose of intimidating tie Sultan, Lord Ponsonb y had invited the British Admiral ;o Constantinople, and stated that it might be necessary that the British squadron should appear there also, Si; Robert Stop ford, however, i: appears did not immediately comply with this request, as the British and Turkish squadrons were seen entering the Gulf of Smyrna on the 6th of October, where it was believed the Admiral would wait events. By all accounts our Government has again an opportunity of striking down the ruinous influence of Russia in Constanti me i nople, if probably of Unkiar S kelessi ma y be put when the treacherous Treaty to the proof." The inhabitants of Edinburgh pay from 10 s. to 12s. the ton for the best coals ; at Lynn, in Norfolk, not a hundred miles from London, the price is 18s. 6d., and in London, at present we pay from 325. to 345. ; and when the coal-factors and the frost combine, the price will be raised some 10s. more. If the English, and particularly the Cockneys, were not the most gullible people in the world, they would rebel as one man a gainst such a system of extortion. For what purpose, we ask them, is such a grievous tax imposed on one of the great necessaries of life ? To fey, nn4 Trois. .11• poor pay for such buildings as the Royal Exchange, or the Mansion-house, which ought to be paid for sgialy by those who use them, or for the erection and ' repairs of St. Paul's or Westminster Abbey, which they are not allowed to visit without being again plun dered by the harpies of _what is called the Poor Man's Church. We never had any doubt that the noise made by the Tory Journals about the hardships of the new Poor-law, proceeded solely from political motives, and their silence regarding taxes which press most severely on the class whom they have taken under their especial care, ought to leave no doubt of the fact in the minds of the poor themselves. During a severe winter there arc thousands in this metropolis ' struggling against poverty and high prices, and making every exertion:to keep out of the workhouse ; but the unequal laws passed by the rich are often too powerful for them—and these laws the Tory Journals mainly defend. For the article of coals alone, they pay nearly twice as much as the rich, and three times as much as they ought to pay, were there any real regard for their interests. The rich, and even those in middling cir- cumstances, can make preparations against the winter, but the poor cannot—they are robbed by the coal-dealer, in quantity and quality. The rise in price fails en tirely on them, and while they have bread barely suffi cient to maintain life, they must pay a tax to build a Royal Exchange or repair a bridge for which ample funds had been provided, but which had been squan dered away by some guzzling City company. These facts, however, the pretended friends of the poor over look—they defend the corn monopoly and other mo nopolies that injure chiefly the lower classes, and take up the cause of the poor man only when his case is hopeless—when he is reduced to beggary, and contami nated by residence in a workhouse. We have stated in this Journal that it is impossible for the people by any art or contrivance, unless that of a despotic Government, to release themselves from the duty of watching over, controlling, and regulating public affairs. The inference we are disposed to draw from this circumstance is, that it is a waste of their time and means to seek constitutional Reforms. Such Reforms will not exonerate them from the toil and the duty of holding public meetings to express their opinion, and, if need be, of enforcing it on their rulers by referring to their possession of physical power ; and by such public meetings, with such a re ference to their power, they may at present get all they would be able to get, after they had effected the constitutional change they at present seek. There is nothing in the shape of political enactment they may not command, if united ; if not united, they will be no more able to carry the projects some of them may entertain, into effect, after they have got their Charter, supposing them to succeed, than at present. They must still rely on their strength and their union—the former will not be increased nor the latter promoted, but we think impeded by their success. If they had Universal Suffrage what could they possibly obtain by it in the first instance equal in utility to the abolition of the Corn-laws ? We know of nothing : and that abolition they may undoubtedly now obtain by uniting to demand it. Considering, therefore, that the union of the people and the expression of their opinion at public meetings are the only effectual means by which good government can be obtained, we quote with satisfaction the following passage from a pamphlet, by Sir BROOKE FAULKENER, just published, recommending regular meetings at stated periods of the people, constituted, as he expresses it, into a fourth estate, or rather into a single estate swallowing up all the others : The people alone can be trusted to manage their own business, by watchfully superintending and controlling their Representatives. M, plan is, therefore, to constitute popular meetings a permanent power in the State, a sort of fourth estate of the Constitution. We have had enough of experience to show that desultory gatherings, no matter what the amount of numbers, can never be relied upon as a sure and steady check to perfidious rulers, such assemblies being no sooner dispersed, than the knaves are at their dirty work again. Besides, while the agitator is left to his dis cretion to convene the people, they have no assurance that they will be called upon to meet, perhaps, when it is most necessary that they should be up and stirring. I would, therefore, have these meetings not contingent or casua but periodical, say annually, at the close of the Parlia mentary session. With such a system in force, Tory rule is extinguished : never, with such a rod over their heads, would the " detested kites" dare to seize the reins of Go vernment or show their face at an election. All the benefit of Universal Suffrage and Annual Parliaments would be had in a superior degree by this plan than by your Charter, as the influence of the people would not only secure honest candidates for representing us, but keep them honest after they were returned. No matter, then, who was the M. m ber, he could only best serve himself by serving the people. The Press would then perform its best service, enlightening and preparing them for the business of the great meeting. Parliament would be in its proper place, not our masters as. now, but fellow labourers in the work of legislation ; whereas, at present, the people are, by the fiction of being present in the persons of their deputies, made consenting parties to every Act of the Legislature, no matter how atrociously inimical to their best interests. They are made consenting parties to their own starvation by enacting the Corn-laws ; by his consent the Dissenter is rated to sup port the Church, the Irish are tithe-hunted, the country 800 millions in debt for a ruinous war, and Queen Ade laide gets, with your consent, 100,0001. a year. While the popular meetings were periodical the people would have constant successive opportunities of discussing their opi nions before throwing them ultimately into the shape of pe titions to Parliament. Their views, as they become en larged by this discipline and the progress of instruction, in place of being hastily taken up and crudely presented, would challenge all the respect which repeated and patient consideration could confer. We should then no longer depend upon an accident for calling for the expression of popular feeling ; such as a famine, want of employment, a commercial crisis, or the like, nor should we be driven in a fit of revenge, to devise such wild expedients, as starving our legislators into their duty_by a " strike," "abstinence from taxed articles," or any such feeble contrivances which would only recoil upon their authors. The passage is also worthy of notice as a specimen of the thoughts and projects which now occupy the heads of political writers. The Madrid Gazelle of the 18th inst., announces the defeat of 300 CarNsts by General BUSTO, at Pa redes, in La Mancha, a few days previously. The victory is scarce worth recording, as it appears that the Carlists fled at the first shot. The capital was tranquil. The whole of the Paris Journals of Thursday have been received. They bring no news of any moment, with the exception of the following telegraphic com munication from Africa, which we copy from the official columns of the Meniteur " TOULON, Ocr. 23.

TIIE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1835. siderable progress in the capital. Several corps of National Guards have unanimously signed the petition. With respect to the important subject of Sugar Duties, we find the following paragraph in one of the leading Journals : The Superior Council of Commerce held another sitting the day before yesterday, which lasted till seven in the even ing. After having heard the new colonial delegates, recently arrived via Havre, the Council resumed its sittings with closed doors, and each member was called upon to deliver his opinion on the question of reducing the import duties on colonial sugars. The majority of the members were in favour of a reduction, but nothing definite was decided, although the Commerce states that a reduction of 12f. per 100 kilogrammes was agreed upon. On the question of allowing the colonies to export sugar to other nations, the majority of the Council also seemed to be agreed in its favour, provided that the exports should take place in French bottoms. With regard, however, to the propriety of effecting a reduction of duty by ordinance or by legislative enactment, the Council did not come to a vote, but considered it altogether as one of Ministe rial responsibility. The Council is to meet to-day, to discuss the flax and linen question. The Temps has a sensible article on the railway panic, which seems to have seized the numerous small speculators who three months ago were in an agony lest they should not have opportunities enough for in vesting their capital in that description of Stock. We select an extract from it : What attracts most awntion at present is the position of railroad enterprises, the shares of which are more and more depreciated, and, as we think, far beyond all real chances of loss. The Havre railroad for example, which is at 910 f., would receive 9901. if it were liquidated ; but one dividend being depreciated drags inevitably after it all others of the same kind. The St. Germain railroad, which is in profitable activity, falls, because Versailles is falling, and in spite of the future dividend : Versailles Right Bank falls, because the Left Bank Road is not prosperous. The St. Germain railroad, estimated at its origin at six mil-. lions of francs, has cost about fourteen. It was necessary to contract a loan to finish the work. The Versailles railrorl, Left Bank, is in a worse case. The estimates amounted to five millions or five millions and a half of francs, and it appears that if it enters Paris it will cost no less than seventeen or eighteen millions. The Company thought itself extremely prudent in issuing shares for eight. millions of francs, keep ing a reserve of two millions; but this prudence has become want of foresight—thanks to the calculations of the official engineers, who estimated the expenses at only the third of the reality. One must not then he as`oiii4ted if the public receive with distrust these new emissions (,f shares. Comparing the p-e -sent with the future, ol,e may well suppose that instead of 90 millions, it is 200 or 300 millions which it will cost to com plete the railroad to Havre and to Dieppe. What then can the efforts of the shareholders do (one person alone possessing, it is said, 20 millions of francs' worth of shares) to combat the fall and the mistrust of the public, affected as it is at present by panic? The following extracts from the Journals include all the news contained in them of any interest to an English reader : The Ultra- Revolutionary party at Madrid inspires the Go vernment with such terror, that our letters from that city in form us that Generals Patavia, Eleonard, and Baron de Meer have been advised voluntarily to tender their resignations, be cause the party in question intend to insist upon it by some violent proceedings, which the Ministry has not sufficient weans to repress. Arrests continue without intermission at Saragossa, where a Commission has been appointed, in order to give an appearance of legality to the most arbitary acts. The Journal des Pyrenees gives the following news from Catalonia:— _ BARCELONA, OCT. 11.—Accounts from Reuss say that the troops composing the garrison of that to wn h a d man if e ,t e d symptoms of insubordination, and that on that account Tarra gona had hastened thither. The environs were again infested by Llarch de Copons. The defeat and death of Pardinas, and the great losses of the Constitutional troops, had caused great consternation. The Junta of Beja sends columns of Carlists to all acces sible points to levy contributions, and carry off hostages, who give security for large ransoms, while the Count de Espagne is indefatigable in organising his battalions.—Gazette de France. A correspondent writes to us, on the 18th, from Logrono, that Espartero has taken very severe measures against those who shall endeavour to seduce the troops. This General is forming large magazines at Logrono, where the army will pass the bad season. This position is very advantageous to observe Estella, and guard the line of the Ebro. The Carlist Gene ral, Castor, has retired beyond Balmaseda. General Casta meda has completed the works fur the defence of Villa Nueva de Mina, and has conveyed to that place provisions for eight months. A letter from Bayonne of the 20th says—" It was not till October 18 that the arrival of the Prince of the Asturias and the Princess of Beira in the Spanish territory was known at Elorrio. They left Elisondo on that day, were to sleep at Leyra, and proceeding thence by way of Barastegui, to reach Tolosa yesterday, where Don Carlos was to be ready to re ceive them." _ _ _ _ . A letter from Turin says-" It is thought likely that the Prince Royal will marry one of the daughters of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and that the King of Sardinia will, on the occasion, follow the example of the Emperor of Austria, by granting an amnesty without any exception.- Constitutionnel. WukTEMBERO.-STUTSIARD, OCT. 21.-His Majesty the King granted a private audience to Count Duyn de Massdam, charged by his Majesty the King of Holland to ask the hand of her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia Frederika Ma tilda de Wurtemberg for the eldest son of the Prince of ange. In this audience his Majesty presented to the Count an autograph letter for the King of Holland, giving his consent to the union. -ilfercure de Souabe. OcEsSA, OCT. 5.-The correspondence published by some foreign Journals, and partly dated from our town, has been read with great astonishment here. Those letters endeavoured to encourage the belief that a rupture in the East was at hand, taking care to arid, that in such a case the Porte would figure as the ally of England. These letters are considered here as forgeries; the correctness of the date is above all question. They were not , rritten here. As to the preservation of peace in general, our commerce seems to indicate by its operations that it relies upon the continuance of tranquillity. If in sp ite of all these conjectures Ru s sia be p r o v ok e d, she would not be found unprepared either by land or by sea; she is not only in a situation to repulse all attacks, but even to act on the offen sive. Indeed, if the Sultan render himself guilty of a violation of a treaty, it is enough to cast his eyes upon the map to con vince himself that the Russian eagles can arrive at the gates of Constantinople before the troops of a foreign power could be disembarked to defend the Ottoman empire in Europe. - Aro-cure de Souabe.

At five o'clock yesterday afternoon the India Company's agent at Malta arrived at the East India House with mails from India; from Bombay, 15th July, the Ist August, and the 12th September. The mail of the 9th June, from London, arrived at Bombay on the 18th August, and that of the 7th July on the 25th August. The next mail from Bombay would ba dispatched on the 4th October. A private letter was received at the North and South Ame rican Coffee-house, late in the afternoon of yesterday, from Rio Janeiro, of Aug. 30, stating that information had been received from Bahia, of Aug. 23, both politically and com mercially, which were of an unfavourable nature ; and from Rio Grande, of Aug. 21, of a similar description. At Rio business was dull, and the prices of Coffee were expected to be lower. Stocks were heavy, and sales could not be made without considerable reduction. The amount of the New Loan, which the Minister of Finance would declare to the Chamber, at their opening, on the 10th of September, was reported at from 6,000 to 10,000 contos. Exchange on England was 271 to 274. The private letters by the East India mails have not as yet been received ; only the Government despatches. We have just received the Rio Janeiro papers to the 2d Sept. The Chamber of Deputies was occupied during the week with the interpretation of the law which reforms the constitution of the empire. The Session has been prorogued to the 30th Sept. The credit which the Minister of Finances is to demand after the last discussion of the Budget (which is to take place the following week), will not be more, it is stated, than 5,000 contos. The accounts from Bahia are of the 7th August. During the night of the 4th the police arrested several negroes, who introduced themselves into the magazine of arms. We have received news of the Blockade of Buenos Ayres to the date of the 10th August. The brig Badine had arrived, and brought out to M. A. Roger the French Governm, nt's ultimatum.

He instantl y fetched a boat- hitcher, and got the body asho re ; but life was q uite extinct, although it was evident the deceased had been but a short time in the water. The body was conveyed to St. Pancras workh ouse , w h e re it remains to be owned, to awai t the bolding of the Coroner's Inquest. The deceased appears to have been about 20 years of age, of rather short stature and stout, fair comp l ex i on , and rather light hair. She was dressi.srl in a green flowered cotton gown, straw bonnet. ithout a shawl. wbite cotton stockings, and boots nearly new. She had no trinkets or money about her, nor any writings tending to dis cover who she was. A female answering the description of the deceased was seen on the previous night walking up and down the road near the bridge.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(Tlii DAY.) OLD COURT. Amelia Levy. an ill looking Jewess, of depraved character, was indicted with feloniously aiding and abetting a man un known to ft loniously ravish Helen Louisa Wyse, Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Ballantyne conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Phillips and Mr. Doane appeared for the prisoner. Mr. BonaiN addressed the jury for the prosecution. The evidence in the case was totally unfit for publication. Mr. PHILLIPS was about to address the Jury, but was pre vented by The FOREMAN, who stated that the Jury were agreed in their determination to acquit the prisoner. The prisoner was then Acquitted. Mr. Baron GURNEY said the prosecution was an extremely proper one, although it had failed in the present instance. NEW COURT. At the opening of the Court - this morning, the following persons, against whom the bills of indictment were ignored, were discharged by proclamation :--An idiot, charged with arson, named George Abbott; W. Brown, Richard Doe, Ann Kelly, James Jones, W. Vale, Michael Martin, George Stevens, Henry Field, Margaret Field, M. Dugdon, J. Smith, R. Brown, W. Baker, Jane Bennett, and Richard Dulligan. James Sharp was indicted for stealing a quantity of carriage wheels, the property of Mr. Kensett, to whom be was servant. The prosecutor's son deposed that the prisoner had been in his father's employment as a coachmaker, on Newington causeway. A few days ago they found that they had been losing many wheels, and traced some of them. The value of the articles charged in the indictment was 6/. William Avery, a furniture broker in Great Suffolk-street, Southwark, stated that he bought four wheels of a person. COMMON SERGEANT—Who was that person ? Witness—l don't know, but he was like the prisoner. COMMON SERGEANT.—Nov, dont you know it was him ? Witness—l think it is. The COMMON SERGEANT—SO do I—pray, will you conde scend to tell me what you gave for those four wheels ? Witness—l gave 10s. for the first pair and ss. for the second. COMMON SERGEANT—Oh ! there were two dealings, and yet you don't know him. (ro prosecutor)—What was the worth of these four wheels? Prosecutor—They are quite new and worth 3/. Thomas Benson, another broker in the same locality, said he purchased six dilapidated wheels of the prisoner for 6s. The prosecutor said they were likewise worth 3/. The Jury having been charged by the Learned Judge, found a verdict of Guilty, and hoped the Learned Judge would not allow any of the two brokers their expenses. The COMMON SERGEANT considered that they should think themselves very well off. very fortunate indeed that they were not at the bar along with the prisoner for receiving the pro p.,rty feloniously. If such receptacles as these were not in existence there would be no thieves, The piiioncr was sentenced to six months' hard labour. GUILDHALL.-(THIS DA Edward Green was charged with having stolen a bugle, the property of Mr. George Tonbridge, his ma=ter, of Plough. court. . The complainant deposed that the prisoner has been in his service almost three years, and that on several occasions he has missed trifling articles. Last week he absconded, taking with him a bugle, which he had pledged at Mr. Fleming's; in Farringdon-street, for 12s. The bugle was produeed and identified. _ _ The prisoner was remanded. Wm. Simpson, an inmate of the Union workhouse, Alders gate-street, was charged with disobeying the orders of the master. Edward Cheaper deposed that every means had been used to make the prisoner work, such as confining him, and keep ing him without victuals, but in vain. Sir P. LAURIE said he appeared to be very fat. notwith standing his bein g kept without victuals.—( Laughter.) Witness—And very lazy, too.--( Laughter. ) Sir PETER w ished that all the paupers were as fat. had the prisoner refused to do ? Witness replied that he had this morning been ordered to scour the dining-hall, but he had peremptorily refused. Sir PETER inquired what the prisoner had been formerly? Witness—A sweep. He was rendered helpless by falling down a stack of chimneys, and was then taken into the work house. He was now, however. able to work. Sir P. LAURIE wished the master had fallen down the chim ney instead of the boy, for if there was a greater cruelty in this country than another, it was forcing a child up a chimney. Talk of West Indian slavery 1 It was nothing compared to the cruelty inflicted in this way. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he wanted to leave the workhouse if he could get some clothes, but it turned out that he had got out of the way when the Board were sitting to consider the matter. He was committed for 21 days. POCKET-PICKING.—Mary Hurst was charged with having picked the pocket of Mr. Richard Heathfield, of 31, Cateaton street, of a pocket handkerchief, which was shortly' afterwards found in her possession. Sir P. LAURIE said the only course left for him was to commit her, and she would • doubtless be transported, this being her second offence. The prisoner burst into tears, and begged herd to be dealt with in a summary manner ; but the Alderman persisted in his determination, and she was committed. AN IMPUDENT SMASHER.—JaDies Castleton, alias Maher, who had been remanded on a charge of smashing, was again brought up. Mr. Field of the Mint was in attendance, and recognised the prisoner as an old acquaintance. He said that in the present case the evidence was nut quite conclusive, otherwise the prisoner would certainly have been transported. Wh a Prisoner—l ought to have been transported long ago (Laughter.) Sir PETER LAURIE—How long ? Prisoner—. Fourteen years. Sir PETER LAURIE—You had better leave off this trade. Prisoner—l intend to do so, because I cannot get a living at it. —( Loud laughter.) Sir PETER—You seem very candid, and perhaps will answer another question. Where do you get this bad money ? Prisoner (shaking his head)—That is rather too hard a question.—( Great laughter.) He was then discharged. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY. DEAL, OCT. 26, A.m.—Wind S. W., squally; P.M., Wind W. N.

We have met with many remarkable works in our time,- and have noticed—we say it with honest pride—not a few - such in the columns of The Sun ; but we know not that we • ever met with a production so every way remarkable as the one now before us. It is a poetic gem of the purest bril liancy, characterized by an originality of thought far sur passing that of Wordsworth ; and by a mellifluous charm or rhythm to which Moore can make no pretensions. Some thing like its imagery we have detected in the rhymed en comiums—which daily delight and instruct a discerning public—of Mr. Warren's blacking ; and something like the structure of its verse, in the canticles of the Christmas far bell man ; but it is but justice to add that as a whole, it is a superior effort of fancy ; indeed the author completely bears aw ay the bell from the bell-man, and as completely iakes the shine out of Mr. Warren's poet-Laureate. As a sp ec: men of his prose style , we subjoin his Dedication of this rentiaAt• able outburst of poesy The author dedicates the following spontaneous effusio ns; to his fellow -countrymen ; trusting that they will accep t what ever loyal, moral, and patriotic sentiments they may contain, ascribing them to a Benign Influence, and overlook errors or imperfections so common to human nature." There is a lowly and diffident spirit breathing throughout this Dedication, that impresse., us—for true genius is always modest—with the most exalted opinion of the author's in tellect. Observe with what unfeign,,d humility he r equests his " fellow-countrymen" to attribute, vhatever they may find pra'seworthy in his poem, to the inspiration of a " Be nign Influence"—that is, to the direct interpo.sition of Pro vidence ! It is no merit of his own that he has written am - extraordinary Ode and Episode; be merely held :he Pea for the Deity, who suggested every image and pointeccevery. couplet, and to whom therefore all the merit mini. in common fairness be ascribed. And most assuredly not wiSh'' out reason, for it is not to be supposed that mere mortalitYe unaided by celestial intelligence, could ever have givo - to such a stanza as this. which commences what, the; poet calls, his Coronation Ode Welcome, the glorious, happy day When great Victoria, noble Queen I Shall wear the royal diadem, And be proclaimed our Sovereign 1 Shout Britannia 1 Victoria rule the main 1 — Yea, reign our Queen, we'll shout again 1" The poet continues shouting through four more such stanzas as the above, when being, we conciude, seinewil 3t out of breath by the effort, he suddenly changes his - to M ne , and invokes the followir , solemn benediction on her jesty, and her Majesty's dominions : " One boon encore we have to crave— May our rich land abound with corn And while we're blessed with fair free trade, We'll love the realm where we were born; Bless Victoria ! Victoria we will bless, For we love truth and righteousness I" There is infinite skill and sagacity—to say nothing .°l - beauty—in this attractive strophe. Mark, for in stance, with what consummate tact the author qualifies Ill s wrofession of love for his native country ! He wishes h e ell, no no man more so, but then it is only on the condition that she act upon the principle of o fair free trade," or, t ° repeat his own more emphatic phraseology, " While we're blest with fair free trade We'll love the realm where we were born," but not an instant longer. The benediction on Victoria, brief though it be, is truly impressive. The poet is net sa g tisfied with blessing her Majesty once, so he must nee of bless her twice, in one line. which argues an intensene ss . ° sensibility not to be thought of without emotion. Fo llow l on the licels of this splendid production, is an " Episode, ° Sequel to the Coronation Ode," which inchoates in this re markable manner— " Thou prime of the Fair, oh, most august Queen! May'st thou far excel all who eel . have been At the head of the realm, in that high station Where Dane, S a xon, R o man have held dominatio n. This passage, highly imaginative as we .allow it to be, ; not a little cenigmatical, especially the first Uric what, is the " Fair," to whi c h our loyal Lyrist aliu first we thought it might be Greenwich Fair ; and then ! c t. conjectures ran in favour of Bartlemy Fair ; but after 1174 ing the line twice over, we have come to the conclusi on ti r f it is expressly intended to have no meaning at all " The secret is found, and quite nigh at hand In Heaven's record, so spread in our land, The Prince of all Princes has shown it quite pla in, So now let's unfold it, and fully explain." who, or It is deeply .to be lamented that the author does n et i vouchsafe to explain this secret, or even to hint to ttle what nature it is. He leaves us wholly in the dark on t. subject, while he starts off to institute a parallel between Queen of Sheba and Queen Victoria, which is more to b e f c o o r m t n h i ; e e an third d rwd o tni r dms i e t su,pinnoiviviosekl poem e t a h mb a n lbeys i s t a s i nn a g pp o o n s i t h e ne hystericalre s outburst of devotion, whose chi e f recommen d at i on i s , that i t passe all human underst an di ng ." sp.rslinet then' Ma jesty THE MARKETS._( THIS DAY•) COVENT GARDEN MARKET.
